South China Morning In
The Christmas Spirit Bat the Christmis spirit of the good old days would not ba downed, and to-day Christmna is celebrated as never before. What does this signify? May we not say with truth and ressop that it indicates the growth of a better feeling among humanity? As the days of the old Yule Tide festivals stood for the pass
the passtrg away of the Aretio, night and for the merging of winter darkness into the sunlight of spring, co the Obristmas of to-day stands for the passing of days of oppres sion and wrong and the ushering. in of a time when the p
problems which troubleus pa to the relations in which men stúd to each other, socially, industrial- ly and in matters of Government, will be solved, not by violonce, but, by a spirit which will lead men to aim at doing to others as they would be done by.

Daily Pres
Railways in China:
with
The day is passed when the rail- way as a foreign innovation la hateful to the Chinese people. We no longer read of them in their inseneste fury burning the rail
oving bridges, way stations, destroying firing the sleepers and carrying off the metals, as they did in time of the boxer rising in 1900. Nor, dow that they have Idarnt to thoroughly apprecinto the benefits of railway communications, do we hear so much as we did even three years ago of opposition to railways being onstructed by foreign syndicates. Experience of rail way bonstraction without the help of the foreign capitalists proved instructive and reconciled the nation at large to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's grandiose scheme for the construction of 75,000 miles of failway in ten years with the aid of foreign capital, and al- though Dr. San has not remained to carry out any part of his project, he has evidently laid the found- ations for progress aad-develop- meat in this important branob of national enterprise.
Canton's Currency,
It appears from recent reports, that the currency notes of Canton are in a mare pregarious way than ever. List week thoir value fell some five cents per dollar in a eingle day. On the morning of the day in question they were reckoned at about sixty-nine. conta, bar before the day closed they had fallen to sixty-four, It is obvious that duder acob condi- tions, business must be in a very unenviable state. Recently, or ders came from Peking, in which the local officials were instructed to ascertain what notes are in circulation,the date of thoir isene, and the several kinds which aro now on the market. The olj ot
it is the intention of Peking: authorities to call in the old notas and replace them by a new i'sue to be sent direct from the cap til and guarenced by the President and the Government, which nOW 89ems pretty securely fixed. This Telephone No. 1463 order has been bayed and the nomber of issues ascertained, as well as the quantity of ench print. Meanwhile native merchants, in view of this change, are refusing to take the old, notes, and are domanding silver for dent,
